Relevant legal bases
Relevant legal bases according to the GDPR:
Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of them in the data protection declaration.
- Consent (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) GDPR) – The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or for several specific purposes.
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) – Processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail.
National data protection regulations in Germany:
In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. This includes, in particular, the Act on the Protection against Abuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special provisions on the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. In addition, state data protection laws of the individual federal states can be applied.
Security measures
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probability of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
Measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to, access to, inputting, sharing, securing availability and segregation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to the threat to the data. We also take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, by design and by default.
TLS encryption (https): In order to protect your data transmitted via our online offer, we use TLS encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the https:// prefix in the address bar of your browser.
Deletion of data
The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consents permitted for processing are revoked or other permissions are omitted (e.g. if the purpose of processing these data has ceased or they are not necessary for the purpose). Unless the data are deleted because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.
Our data protection information may also contain further information on the storage and deletion of data, which applies primarily to the respective processing operations.

In particular, consent is not necessary if the storage and reading of the information, i.e. also of cookies, are absolutely necessary in order to provide the users with a telemedia service (i.e. our online offer) that they expressly request.

The revocable consent is clearly communicated to the users and contains the information on the respective cookie use.
Information on data protection legal bases:
On which legal basis under data protection law we process the personal data of users with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for the processing of your data is the consent given. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in a business operation of our online offer and improvement of its usability) or, if this is done in the context of fulfilling our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Users' data collected with the help of cookies can also be used for range measurement. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage period of cookies (e.g. in the context of obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and the storage period can be up to two years.
